Abstract

This article may be particularly useful to public health and social policy decision-makers, health economics researchers, and professionals responsible for digital development, as it clearly summarizes why digital access should be considered one of the social determinants of health. Fortunately, Hungary is in a very good position in terms of network coverage, but economic actors and regulatory bodies must continue to ensure that access remains at a high level regardless of social or geographic location.
